When Negligence Takes a Limb, We Fight for Everything You’ve Lost — and Everything You’ll Need
The physical pain of losing a limb is only the beginning.
The emotional toll. The financial pressure. The lifelong medical care. The loss of work, mobility, confidence, and control.
At Williford Law, we represent individuals across Houston and Texas who have suffered amputations because of someone else’s negligence. Whether you were injured in a crash, at work, during surgery, or by a dangerous product, we build serious cases for serious recoveries — backed by the medical experts, prosthetics specialists, and life care planners needed to prove the full cost of your injury.
This is more than a personal injury case. This is your future.
We Represent Clients in All Types of Amputation Cases
- Auto accidents (cars, motorcycles, trucks, commercial vehicles)
- Pedestrian and cyclist crush injuries
- Workplace incidents involving heavy equipment or unsafe machinery
- Construction and industrial amputations
- Premises liability (unsafe escalators, elevators, doors, and pinch hazards)
- Medical malpractice resulting in delayed care or preventable surgical amputations
- Defective product injuries (unshielded tools, consumer devices, unsafe vehicles)
- Burn or electrocution injuries requiring surgical limb removal
- Wrongful death from amputation-related complications (infection, shock, hemorrhage)
If you lost a limb due to another party’s reckless or negligent act, we’ll help you pursue every avenue of recovery — and hold every responsible party accountable.
Types of Amputation Injuries We Handle
- Above-the-knee and below-the-knee amputations
- Upper arm, forearm, and hand amputations
- Finger or toe amputations with functional loss

Every injury is different. Every recovery path is personal. Our case strategy reflects that.
The Real Impact of Limb Loss
Amputation is more than a one-time event. It’s an ongoing medical, emotional, and financial reality.
- Multiple surgeries, revisions, and wound care
- Lifetime prosthetic use — with devices that wear out, break, or must be refitted
- Phantom limb pain, nerve damage, and complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS)
- Permanent work restrictions or forced career changes
- Home and vehicle modifications
- Depression, anxiety, grief, and identity loss
- Social isolation or diminished self-image
- Loss of independence, confidence, or relationships
Our role is to document every layer of harm — and present it to insurers or a jury with full clarity and force.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How much is an amputation injury case worth?
That depends on age, earning potential, medical needs, and liability. With proper expert documentation, these cases can exceed seven figures due to permanent loss, future medical costs, and diminished quality of life.
Can I sue for a surgical amputation if it followed a crash or work injury?
Yes. If the original injury was caused by another party, and surgery became medically necessary, they may still be liable for the amputation and all resulting damages.
What if my limb was amputated because of medical error or delayed care?
You may have a valid medical malpractice claim. We handle wrongful amputations and delayed diagnosis cases alongside your catastrophic injury claim.
Will prosthetic costs be included in my settlement?
Yes — but only if expert life care planning is done correctly. We ensure your future prosthetics, therapies, and adaptations are included and valued properly.
